Describes and evaluates the Family Breaks pilot project run by the Family Holiday
Association to provide free supported holidays for families under stress. Research
showed that families were positive about their holiday experience. Many derived
long term benefits from the holiday in their ability to cope with difficulties
and take control of their lives, helping them work towards positive change.
